Earlier in the morning, around 12:15 a.m., there was a reported shooting at the T.A. Events Center on Northeast Multnomah Street. There were no reported injuries or suspects.

About an hour later, officers responded to a report of multiple shots fired at Northeast 17th Avenue and Holman Street. Police found shell casings and bullet holes in two nearby homes. No injuries were reported.
